CAUSE OF NOISE?: People across Crawley have reported hearing "strange" noises and bangs last night (Saturday, March 7)

PEOPLE across Crawley have reported hearing constant loud noises all over the town last night.

Residents living in almost every neighbourhood have been asking what was the cause of the bangs which could be heard on Saturday night (March 7).

Aneliese Whittaker tweeted the Crawley News to say there were "strange loud sounds heard all across Crawley, Horley and Gatwick".

People have reported on social media that the noises sounded like a bomb being detonated, constant thunder and fireworks, or even like the sonic boom heard in parts of Kent and Sussex last October.

Earthquake Lights in South Russia (Mar 16)

An inexplicable white-and-blue flash was spotted lighting up the sky over the southern Russian city of Stavropol. A dashcam video has since triggered a heated debate over the origins of the mysterious sight.

Stavropol’s horizon offered a jaw-dropping view to those who weren’t asleep at around 00:39 local time (21.39 GMT on Monday). The soundless flash of light scared several people, as it made some streetlights in the city go out, while being accompanied by the flickering of lights inside apartments and houses.

According to the Hydrometeorological Center of the city, the phenomenon “can’t be attributed to nature”– rather, it could be anthropogenic. The source of the light is thought to have been located somewhere on the ground.

However power engineers have rejected a version suggesting a fault in the power supply line leaving the public clueless about the nature of the mysterious flash.

Mystery Boom Rocks Homes in SE Michigan (Mar 18)

Sounded like a bomb went off,” Flat Rock resident Jen Emerick said. “I live on Palmetto.”

Dozens of others echoed her comments on the noise level.

“I live in South Rockwood and it was so loud here felt like a truck hit my house and my house is brick,” Ruth Apperson said in a Facebook post.

Mysterious Booms in Berkeley CA - (Mar 31)

For weeks, residents in Berkeley, California have had a hard time staying asleep thanks to loud booms in the middle of the night.

“I’d say it was around one in the morning, scared the hell out of me,” Rachael Marzoline told KPIX-TV of what she heard. “I jumped out of bed.”

Marzoline told the news station that this boom occurred Sunday night, but Joel Bryant said he has heard them at least eight times within the last month.

“We’re puzzled by it,” he told KPIX. “It’s not as crisp as a gunshot. It sounds like an aerial bomb explosion.”

Berkeleyside states that residents have filed the most reports on March 3, 15, 17, 25 and 29. It’s unclear if there’s any connection regarding the days the sounds are heard. Most of the booms have reportedly taken place between 8 -10 p.m.

Ongoing Mystery Booms in New Jersey (Mar 31)

Mysterious, earth-shaking booms have been reported in recent weeks by dozens of Bordentown and Hamilton residents, and authorities are at a loss to explain them.

The latest boom jolted residents at 10 p.m. Monday. A closed Facebook group for Bordentown Township residents lit up with people asking each other, "Did anyone just feel that loud rumble?"

"Was in the garage and the garage doors both rattled hard and I could feel the rumble under my feet," was one of a dozen replies.

A similar online conversation unfolded on March 19 after the noise was heard around 9 p.m. Another series of reports occurred on March 17, a Tuesday. Some have reported hearing several booms in succession during the span of an hour.

Residents in adjacent Hamilton Township in Mercer County also reported hearing the noise.

Unexplained Roar Heard Across S. Wisconsin (Apr 19)

A roaring sound caught the attention of people across a widespread region of southern Wisconsin around 8:15 p.m. Sunday.

The sound seemed louder and longer than an airline plane would make, and it was heard in Beloit, Milton, Evansville, Albany, Monticello and Monroe as well as Janesville, according to Facebook comments.

One commenter from Brodhead said it made her house vibrate.

A 911 official checked with the National Weather Service in Sullivan, where officials had no radar contacts or weather events that might explain the noise.

Strange Howling Noise Returns to Terrace BC (May 5)

The mystery behind spooky sounds in Terrace, B.C. has been reopened after the eerie noises were recorded once again.

On Tuesday, resident Melissa Harris was in her house, talking to her husband on the phone, when she heard the noises.

"It was getting louder, so I went to the window and luckily i caught it. It was not even a minute or so. I just stood by my window and taped it. In the moment I had goose bumps on my arm," she said.

Harris uploaded a video to YouTube, pointing out the noises were the same as recorded in three online videos posted in 2013 by Kimberly Wookey. On May 7, 2015, Wookey captured the bizarre sound on video again.

The 2013 videoes got millions of hits, sparking theories it could be sky quakes, the supernatural or an electromagnetic activity.

The City of Terrace said the noise was caused by a worker grinding down the blade on a grader.

The CBC asked the city if the same thing happened in this more recent case, but hasn't heard back.

In the absence of an answer, residents have resorted back to their hypotheses.

Harris doesn't believe it was a grinder.

"It just sounded like horns in the sky. I don't know people say trumpets, but to me it was just like a loud kind of eerie."

Strange Howling Noise Heard Around the World Defies Explanation (May 16)

A mysterious noise from the sky is continuing to baffle people all over the world - as well as giving those who hear it sleepless nights.

Sounding like a trumpet or a collective from a brass section of an orchestra, a selection of videos shot from the Canada to Ukraine, via the U.S., Germany and Belarus show strange goings on.

And the eerie sounds have been continuously heard at all different times and locations for almost a decade.

The first video posted on YouTube recording the unusual, unearthly sounds, was in 2008 when a user recorded the strange sounds in the sky from Homel, in Belarus.

That same year another anonymous user shared the 'ear-deafening' sounds that they insisted 'were not a hoax,' from a quiet neighbourhood believed to be in the U.S.

Kimberly Wookey from Terrace, British Columbia in Canada first captured the alien sound in June 2013, and since then she has managed to capture several recordings of the noise with her most recent being on May 7 this year.

Writing on YouTube, where she posted the videos, Ms Wookey writes: 'On the morning of August 29, 2013 at approximately 7:30am I was awoken by these sounds.

'I shot out of bed realizing it was the same sounds I had heard before and I ran looking for a camera to try to capture them with. I came out into the living room to find my seven-year-old son awake and scared wondering what was going on. He had said the noises woke him up as well and shook his window.

'I managed to record three clips showing almost five minutes of these strange sounds. After it was over and I sat down at the computer to upload the video. After checking my Facebook I noticed a lot of locals had heard the same sounds again but this time it was far more widespread.

'I have no idea what these sounds are but it is pretty strange and I am glad that I was able to catch them this time and share what I heard. The sounds were heard again on Sept 8th at 6:30am so far we have confirmed reports of it being heard from town to the lake, 25km away.'

So what does the mother of four think the noises are?

'I personally do not believe this has any religious connection, nor do I believe it is aliens, graders, trains, construction, etc,' she added.

'I do believe it could be a geophysical phenomenon.'

Kimberly was so spooked by the sound coming from the sky she contacted her local construction company to try and get an answer.

Her efforts hit a dead end when the company replied informing her that none of their machines could make such a noise (see screenshot above).

Another recording of the sound was captured in Kiev, Ukraine in August 2011. An eyewitness said: 'The sound was extremely loud, with some people 30-40km from the recording also hearing it in other cities

'It was in the news with the investigation with specialists and scientists, but there is still no exact explanation.'

Encounters with the noise has even caused some people to have vivid nightmares for days after the event.

Aaron Traylor captured a recording in Montana in the U.S. on February 18, 2012, and said: 'I've had vivid nightmares ever since I posted the very eerie strange sounds that has Missoula talking and looking towards the sky; awful, awful nightmares.

'My wife woke me from a dream last night where she says I was screaming like she's never heard me scream before.

'I was taking my daughter out for her daily exercise along with my dog. I started to hear the sounds early on in our little adventure and the first time it was heard my dog perked her ears up and my daughter stopped in her tracks.

'That sound was identical to the one I had taped later, and lasted just as long. Now since I've been following this worldwide strange sounds phenomenon for some time, the whole 'End of the world' thing popped instantly into my head.

'What if this was one of those sounds? I had my phone ready to capture the next one just in case. Sure enough, five minutes later the sound had returned.'

Aaron doesn't subscribe to the theory that the noise is made by trains or aeroplanes.

'The Missoula rail system is one very loud and unpredictable beast. Trains connecting their loads to another is a sound very familiar to locals. Loud bangs and screeches can be heard from nearly 10 miles away at any given point throughout the day,' he added.

'Still, that doesn't explain the fan-like whirring sound that can be heard at the start of the recording.'

'I've lived in this neighbourhood for nearly four years and have heard all kinds of planes coming and going overhead and on the runway. I've never heard a plane sound like this before.

'My neighbourhood is very quiet and we were about three blocks away from any busy intersection during the incident. Can't say I've ever heard an automobile of any kind with that kind of noise.'

A video from Germany taken from a window pans onto a street and shows a child frozen still as the chilling sounds echo over the landscape. And in Salzburgh in Austria the noise is magnified across the Eastern Alps.

In Allen, Texas, U.S. back in 2012, the mysterious noise had a group of people stop what they were doing in a car park and look towards the sky, with one exclaiming: 'It's weird, I've never heard anything like that.'

The Daily Mirror also picks up the story:

A UFO or sounds from God - just what is that evil-sounding trumpet noise coming from the sky?

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/ufo-sounds-god---just-5723668

The sounds have been heard emanating from the sky in locations around the world, but no one knows what they are
An ominous noise coming from the sky has alarmed people around the world - and experts have no idea what might be causing it.

Footage has flooded YouTube from locations as varied as British Columbia in Canada, Allen in Texas and Queensland in Australia.

The sound, like something from Hollywood movies The War of the Worlds or Close Encounters of the Third Kind starts without warning and has people transfixed in the street as it continues.

And even the experts can't tell if it's aliens, God, the Earth or something else unknown.

Mystery noise baffles Auckland NZ residents

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=1...

A house-shaking explosion noise has baffled Auckland residents.

The mammoth bang was heard by residents in the suburbs of Onehunga and Mangere Bridge about 10.30pm on Sunday.

One reader who wrote in to the Herald said they could feel the house shake.

The scary noise sounded "super sonic" and no one knew what it was, the woman said.

Residents turned to Twitter to find the source of the mysterious noise - but no clues have turned up yet.

Dean Taylor tweeted: "What was that Big Bang in Onehunga just now?"

Twitter user Peter Tainui said it might have been related to the mystery bang or explosion heard in the same area a couple of weeks ago.

"What/who the hell is the cause?" he asked.

Another loud bang stumped residents in the Onehunga, Three Kings, Mt Roskill, Epsom and Mt Albert area on May 30.

One Twitter user at the time said it sounded like a loud boom, thunder or an explosion.

A series of mysterious explosion noises were also reported across Auckland in June 2014, which turned out to be Defence Force training exercise at the Kaipara Bomb Range.

New Zealand Defence Force spokesman Geoff Davies said the noise did not come from the organisation.

He said the Defence Force had not received any calls about the noise.

An Auckland Council spokeswoman said there was no known record of calls about the bang on Sunday night.

Another loud bang was reported by central Auckland residents in May when a power line worker was injured in a substation accident, cutting power to homes.

But there was no power outages or incidents on Sunday night, Vector spokeswoman Sandy Hodge said.

The company had "a really quiet weekend", she said.

Mysterious Blue Light Appears Over Mt. Kinabalu (Jun 18)

A mysterious blue light appeared briefly over Borneo's Mt. Kinabalu.

A villager told a local newspaper: "The sky was bright as if there was a rainbow, but unlike a rainbow, it was all striking blue. We have not seen anything like this before."

The blue rays are known as the 'blue rainbow' and are believed to be a phenomenon that is usually associated with areas recently hit by earthquakes.

The 6.0-magnitude earthquake took place on June 5 in Mount Kinabalu and Kinabalu Park, a protected area and world heritage site, in the Sabah area, on the island of Borneo, Malaysia.

On social networks several people, such as Rina Ripau from the nearby village of Ranau, uploading images of the rainbow to their Facebook profiles when they started from last Thursday, a week after the Mount Kinabalu earthquake.

According to experts, the generation of this light involves the ionization of oxygen in some types of rocks due to high stress before, during and after earthquake and other seismic activities.

Mysterious Booms Rocking Toledo Ohio (Jul 15)

A series of underground explosions in one of Ohio’s largest cities has authorities and residents completely baffled.

The most recent boom occurred Tuesday afternoon in downtown Toledo – the fifth such occurrence in just one month.

People inside at least one building were forced to evacuate as smoke billowed out. The Toledo Fire Department responded and later determined that the source of the explosion was from an underground electrical pit.

“We don’t know. There were initial reports of a lightning strike,” TFD Battalion Chief Brent Wettle said.

“However, it was during a rain storm as well, so when you get a lot of water in those pits that can cause a short in the wiring, it could possibly be that as well,” Wettle added.

The blast was just the latest in a series of bizarre occurrences that have rocked the city in the past four weeks. The first explosion came on June 15. Four more, all of which were reported on different streets, have followed since then.

Toledo Edison, the local electric company, cut off power supply to the area affected by the most recent explosion. It said it plans to reopen once the problem has been fixed.

Representatives from the city of Toledo and Toledo Edison did not immediately respond to requests for comment on July 15.

The mystery hum is back! Plymouth residents complain of 'strange droning noise'
Keyham, Devonport-  DO you remember the mysterious story about a low-pitched humming noise which left scientists baffled and caused residents to cover their ears?

Last summer The Herald reported on the strange phenomenon creating a stir across the Plymouth area.

We thought the nuisance noise had disappeared, but now it seems to be back and more disruptive than ever.People have reported hearing the noise at night in Keyham, Devonport, West Park and St Budeaux.

Pat Finnie, who lives in Normandy Way, St Budeaux, says she and her husband have noticed the “melodic, droning” sound returning.

“I have heard it several times over the last few weeks and then on Monday and Tuesday this week,” Mrs Finnie said.

“You begin to wonder whether it’s you, your ears, but my husband said he could hear it too, and he doesn’t usually notice it.

“My neighbours have been aware of it too, several people say they have heard the same thing.“It’s a very low, almost melodic sort of sound.

“You wake up and thought it was something in the house. You can’t say it’s loud, but it’s a nuisance.

“We don’t hear it in the daytime, only at night.”

The strange droning noise – which only two per cent of people can hear – was first reported in the 1970s.

People as far apart as New Mexico and Somerset have been complaining about the ‘mystery hum’ ever since, with some saying it has driven them mad.

Bizarrely, the irritating noise is usually heard in rural areas – and only ever indoors and is also apparently louder at night.

It has been blamed on everything from electricity pylons to sonar waves.

But boffins are still scratching their heads 40 years on.

Mystery Blast Rocks Rural E. Michigan (Aug 24)

Darrell Cousineau said about 8:30pm he was shaken by an explosion.

"Pretty good size boom and, uh, shook the chair I was sitting in."

He wasn't the only one in the area that felt it.

"Oh yeah, it was a lot of concussion," said neighbor Mike Ballard.

Ballard said he heard the blast as well.

"I thought it was something blowing up," Ballard said.

TV5 reached out to local military and law enforcement, but no explosions were reported.

TV5's meteorologist said there was no seismic activity reported to suggest an earthquake.

"These events can happen, you know every year or two they get reported," Mike Murray said.

Murray manages the astronomy and planetarium program at Delta College.  He said the mysterious boom could have been a space object that suddenly disintegrated before hitting the ground.

"In some of those cases they are probably meteoroids that had exploded in mid-air," Murray said.

He said meteoroids are only confirmed through observation and so far people have reported only hearing or feeling the blast, not actually seeing anything.

"But there's no way of knowing if they were meteoroids or if maybe it was some other source," Murray said.

Dozens of others have commented on Facebook about the blast.

Darrell Cousineau said, "I don't think it was an alien, but you never know,"

Mystery as ghostly sound of an air raid siren wakes hundreds of people across Swansea UK

Residents in Swansea (pictured is Swansea Bay and The Mumbles) have been woken up by a mysterious air raid siren noise

A ghostly sound of an air raid siren has been waking people in hundreds of homes in a city that was heavily bombed by the Nazis 75 years ago.

Noise abatement officials launched an investigation into the mysterious noise which has been heard more frequently across Swansea, South Wales, in recent months, but admit it cannot be traced.

Reports of the wailing sound have stretched back for more than a year, with many residents in area of Townhill comparing it to a 'war or old factory siren'.

One mother, Debbie Leyshon, 46, said: 'Everyone around here has heard it around dawn and into the early morning. It sounds just like a siren you hear in the war films.

'It always sounds like it is away in the distance but loud enough to wake you up if you are a light sleeper.'

People have taken to social media to share their own experiences of the strange noises.

Stella Elphick said: 'Been going on for at least the last two summers and through the winter. Day and night.'

Pete Rose added: 'It drives my mother insane and I often hear it when visiting her,' while Damian Holt said: 'Every morning around 4.30/5am till 6am or 7am most mornings.'

Debbie St Peter claims the noise has become so 'annoying' that she can't sleep.

And Sian Richards said: 'That noise has been tormenting me since the beginning of year.'

Loud Boom Remains Unexplained Along Mid-Atlantic (Sep 22)

The origin of a loud explosion heard throughout eastern Delmarva Tuesday night remains a mystery.

Social media was buzzing after reports a possible sonic boom originating on Chincoteague Island around 9 p.m.

In a post published on the Eastern Shore Fire/EMS/Police Breaking News Facebook page, it reads that the "original report was Mason Oil Co. on Chincoteague Island but nothing has been found anywhere on Chincoteague."

The post generated over 20 comments from people stating they felt what seemed like an explosion in Maryland areas like Snow Hill, Girdletree and Ocean City.

Chincoteague's EMS Supervisor Bryan Rush confirmed this morning that a unit from the island's fire company responded to a call received at 8:44 p.m. about an explosion with fire at the Mason Oil Company.

But after questioning the individual who made the report, responders determined the supposed fire was mistaken for the "glow of lights" outside the local business.

"I guess they associated the loud boom with the lights," said Rush.

After discovering no fire at the Mason Oil Company, Rush said units were dispatched all over the island to make sure there wasn't an isolated incident in a home.

"There was no fire or explosion anywhere on Chincoteague last night," he said.

Patrol officers on neighboring Assateague Island were alerted as well but no explosion-related incident was found there either.

Rush notified the Virginia Department of Emergency Management about the ostensible explosion, which he described as sounding like "a loud, long clap of thunder."

The Virginia department then reached out to Maryland's Department of Emergency Management about last night's incident, Rush said.

As of Wednesday morning, the EMS supervisor said the cause for the strange occurrence was "still unfounded."

"There's really no explanation for it," he said.

Terrifying strange sounds in the sky reported across Morocco

Jan 5, 2016

These terrifying strange sounds from the sky were reported across Morocco beginning of this year.

Are these the trumpets of the apocalypse or simply a really frightening hoax?

First I thought hearing a muezzin calling for prayer at the Mosque. The anonymous voice people are reporting from the sky is most probably that call to prayer.

Moreover, people are riding their bicycles like normal as if they weren’t terrified at all. If I was hearing these weird metallic trumpet sounds I would directly try to take shelter.

While Coweta celebrated its first New Year’s with legal fireworks, several residents of eastern Coweta reported a boom that shook their homes on Saturday night.

“It was pretty loud,” Miller recalled on the blast. “My dogs freaked out."

Panama City Beach, Fla.  - Many people across the Panhandle said they heard a loud noise Friday afternoon just before 12:30.

We received more than 100 reports of the boom, mainly from those in parts of Panama City Beach, Panama City, Southport, Lynn Haven, and Youngstown. However, residents in Santa Rosa Beach, Marianna, Cottondale, Chipley, Bonifay, and Clarksville also noticed it.

Some said it tripped the breakers and shook their house.

None of the military bases in the area confirmed any activity possibly contributing to the explosive sound.

Gulf Power representatives said there weren't any reported blown transformers.

Law enforcement said they have no reason to believe it was criminal.

Mysterious Booms Damage Florida Home (Feb 1)

A man living in Saint James City on Pine Island is wondering what's causing his house to violently shake.

Dwayne Dyer is one of many to contact Fox 4 regarding a booming explosion sound and shaking in Southwest Florida.

Dyer said the shaking to his home is worse than ever.  "Every time it happens, it's been the exact same time. I've been keeping track of it," Dyer said.

He said it's around 10:55 AM.

Dyer's house sits up on stilts, and he said it's been shaking like an earthquake.  "You can feel it more or less start downstairs and work it's way up. It was pretty violent this time. It really shook the house," he said.

He's lived in his home for 12 years and went through Hurricane Charley, but said the shaking he experienced Monday was even worse.

Dyer said he's heard about the sonic booms caused by naval training in the last couple weeks, but said what he felt this morning was different.  "I really don't think it's a sonic boom. I think it's something else. I don't know what it is, I think it's more in the ground," he said.

He used to be a commercial pilot and said he's never heard a sonic boom like this one. 

Four in Your Corner's Lisa Greenberg reached out to a Navy spokesperson to see what could be going on and was told there weren't any jets operating in the area.

The twisting and shaking has been causing damage to Dyer's home.  "The tiles throughout the house are actually starting to pop loose. Every time this happens, it seems like one or two more tiles are getting loose," he said.

The tile is also cracked in places.

Dyer said as much as he'd like a fix for his floor, he's searching more for answers.  "What's causing this is what I want to know, he said.

Fox 4 reached out to the MacDill Air Force base in Tampa to see if the booms are coming from there, but we haven't heard back yet.

The Lee County spokesperson said she's not aware of anything going on locally that could be causing the shaking.

Mystery Boom in West Michigan (Feb 11)

Several people living near Howard City reported they felt and heard a loud boom Thursday morning and felt a rumble similar to an earthquake.

"The whole ground was shaking, the house was shaking,” said Sue Eastman of Coral. It was just before 10 a.m. Thursday when she heard the loud boom. As she was trying to figure out what was going on, so were several others.

Christine Rizor of Howard City thought it was an earthquake. "I was sitting in a chair and all the sudden, it was like a big shake. I was like, 'Whoa!'"

Kasey Field, also in Howard City, posted about it on social media. "I had people from all over the lake area. They felt it in Morley and Evart.  In Sears, they heard it up there."

According to the National Weather Service and the U.S. Geological Survey, it was not an earthquake.

So far, no military bases in Michigan seem to know where the alleged sonic boom came from. 

According to the Michigan National Guard, there are no planes fast enough and based in Michigan that can create a sonic boom.

North Carolina Tremors and Booms Flood Social Media, Law Enforcement (Feb 8)

A series of loud booms and mysterious rattling that shook homes and businesses Monday morning in New Hanover and Brunswick counties had residents calling police and on each other for answers. Officials with the U.S. Earthquake Center say one possibility can be ruled out since no seismic activity was reported in the area.

According to New Hanover County 911, multiple reports about the booms and tremors began at about 10:30 a.m. Monday in parts of downtown Wilmington, College Road, 13th Street and in the Monkey Junction area. Dispatchers in Brunswick County also reported receiving multiple calls throughout the county.

According to Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office Spokeswoman Emily Flax, the 911 center received between 10-20 calls in reference to a loud explosion or boom as well as reports of houses shaking and pictures falling off walls.

“Several callers were scared and wanted to speak with someone,” Flax said. “We dispatched officers to callers that wanted to speak with someone and just made note of others.”

Some of the calls in the county were also from people who were curious as to what the disturbances may have been, Flax said. However, no reports have indicated a source.

“Houses shook in various areas throughout the county, mostly in the north end,” Flax said. “Some people felt it harder than others; their description was that it was more intense than some of the others.”

In Brunswick County, there is a military ocean terminal at Sunny Point and Duke Energy’s Brunswick Nuclear Plant, which are located in the area, but there has been no report of any “unusual events,” Flax said.

“All those places are set up that if anything happens, we get notification,” she added.

According to Paul Caruso, a geophysicist with the National Earthquake Information Center, there were no reports Monday morning of any seismic activity in the Cape Fear region.

“Most of the time, people aren’t hearing earthquakes…they feel them,” Caruso said when asked about the events.

Strange Trumpets in the Sky Over Montreal (Feb 21)

Residents of Dollard des Ormeaux were distracted Sunday night by an eerie noise they said sounded like trumpets somewhere in the sky.

"All the dogs in the neighbourhood are going nuts," D.D.O. resident Adria Morrell posted to Facebook around 10 p.m. She recorded the noise, which sounded like wind through wires or windchimes.

There was no wind at the time, she said, and soon after she posted, other West Island residents recounted their own spooky aural encounters. The sound was reported to have lasted more than an hour.

Long Island South Shore residents report hearing loud explosions

Updated March 1, 2016 7:59 PM

The calls are coming from people in Lindenhurst, Copiague, Babylon and West Islip areas. (March 1, 2016 8:10 PM)

News 12 has been getting calls from people claiming to have heard loud explosions on the South Shore. 

The calls are coming from residents in Lindenhurst, Copiague, Babylon and West Islip areas.

Some have said their houses shook, but at this point police don't know of any explosions.

Recurring Booms in Missouri Remain a Mystery (Feb 29)

Unexplained loud booms have been affecting residents around Grundy County for weeks, and the cause has yet to be determined.

"It's weird because it's unlike most booming noises you hear," said Glen Briggs, the emergency management director of Grundy County. "If you hear a car crash or something like that, you can pretty well tell which direction it came from. When I heard it, I couldn't identity which direction it came from. It resembled thunder, but there were no thunderstorms in the area."

Trenton residents began reporting their experiences of these booms after they heard it for the first time Feb. 14.

"I instantly made a post on our emergency management Facebook page and asked if anyone else hear it," Briggs said. "We had close to 100 people comment saying the heard it. Several people said they felt it. They described a loud thud, rattling, some saw flashes of light and smoke."

Trenton police arrived to the area where residents were affected in a matter of minutes, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

"No one lost power, so we quickly ruled out a transformer explosion," Briggs said. "That particular one was heard as far as 5 to 7 miles away. Whatever it was, it was very loud, but we we're never able to identify the source."

Briggs has been working on the mystery ever since, creating a spreadsheet of the sounds' potential origin, which falls into one of two categories.

"There's a handful of evidence that says this has to be man-made. And there's a handful of evidence that says no it's got to be natural," Briggs said. "But we don't have enough evidence either way to say is this an earthquake, or is this someone blowing something up?"

Briggs said those in the geological sciences and engineering department at Missouri University of Science and Technology have supplied their expertise to help officials find the source. They've investigated whether the noises could be tied to groundwater, fracking fluid or the shifting of tectonic plates.

"One interesting geological instance that has occurred in our area before was when some sort of gas was coming out of the ground for no apparent reason," Briggs said. "They may be correlated, but no one has been able to confirm that a boom has happened in an area where we had reports of gas coming out of the ground."

The timing of these noises also varies considerably. Whether it's a weekday, weekend, 4 p.m. or 1 a.m., the noises have been occurring at random.

"There is no pattern to them," Briggs said. "There does seem to be a slight tendency for them to be occurring from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m., but using that for an edge on this mystery is very slight."

Briggs said residents in surrounding counties, including Mercer and Sullivan, also have reportedly heard the booms.

Anyone who thinks they may have heard the booms is asked to post their experience to the "Grundy County Emergency Management" Facebook page. Briggs asks residents to post as much description as possible, including time, exact location and any other related details.

"Even if you think it's something very trivial, like smelling something after one of the booms," Briggs said, "let us know what it smelled like. If it's the smell of a firecracker going off or something like that, it can help us point to it being man-made. If it's an unfamiliar smell that's foreign, maybe it's something natural."

Long Island Residents Call 911 to Report Mystery 'Boom' Sounds

Dozens of residents on Long Island called 911 to report hearing mysterious loud booms Tuesday evening, Suffolk County police say.  Suffolk police said they received numerous calls from residents in Lindenhurst, Copiague, Babylon and West Islip just after 6 p.m.  Police have no knowledge of explosions in the area but are investigating.

The U.S. Coast Guard also said it is looking into the reports.  Resident Samantha Collins of Lindenhurst told NBC 4 New York she was sitting on the couch watching TV when "the whole house started shaking."

"We went outside, and all my neighbors were like, 'Did you hear that, did you hear that?'" she said.

"I just heard boom, like a loud boom, like a plane broke the sound barrier, and I got up and walked out and didn't hear any sirens," he said.

NWS offers theory on loud booms reported in the Sioux Falls area

Feb 26, 2016

http://www.argusleader.com/story/news/crime/2016/02/27/police-inves...

Police are investigating multiple reports of loud booms in Sioux Falls and the surrounding areas.

The National Weather Service said they had not seen any indications of an explosion or other events that would show up on radar, and that there are no storms in the area.

"There's nothing unusual on the radar that would suggest a meteor or a comet," meteorologist Matt Dux said.

However, NWS did offer a possible theory on what could be causing the booms:

"After thinking a bit..one thing could be happening is this. There is a very sharp temperature change not too far off the surface (about 500 ft) tonight due to the warmer air aloft and fast cooling here at the ground. It's possible that as some aircraft are landing that this sound is bouncing off this temperature 'inversion.' It's a theory," NWS said.

Scanner traffic indicated that multiple people had called in to report the booms. Police were investigating reports in Hartford and at 85th Street and Marion Road.

Sgt. Jon Thum said police were unable to find the source of the noises.

People have reported the booms in several areas around Sioux Falls and beyond.

‘Boom’ causes rumblings in Kansasville

http://myracinecounty.com/?p=20940

Kansasville and Dover residents looking for an answer to Saturday’s loud noise are still waiting for an explanation.

Described as an explosion by some and a sonic boom as others, residents near Eagle Lake at about 5:30 p.m. Saturday started phoning 911 regarding an explosion.

The only problem? The Racine County Sheriff’s Department and Kansasville Fire couldn’t find anything.

“We investigated it and nothing found,” said Kansasville Fire Chief Scott Remer. “We have no cause or origin.

“I heard a lot of things about ‘my house shook,’” he added.

Area residents also flooded social media seeking an explanation for what happened. On a local area ‘buy, sell, trade’ list on Facebook, people referred to the noise as something “blowing up” and said the noise shook homes.

Another person later explained there were some fireworks going off, and called the situation “all good.” However, that was about two hours after the initial report.

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Warden Mike Hirschboeck said ice heaves on the lake could have created a loud booming noise.

Rattling explosion sounds reported over several Northeast Georgia counties

Feb 18, 2016

http://onlineathens.com/mobile/2016-02-18/rattling-explosion-sounds...

Booms so loud they have actually shaken homes were reported over the past two weeks in several Northeast Georgia counties.

Three reports were filed Sunday in the Maysville area of Jackson County, but numerous other reports were made in Hall, Habersham and Madison counties, authorities said Thursday. Several reports were filed the previous week in the Commerce area of Jackson County.

“We’ve had a lot of people saying their houses are shaking and describing it as sounding like a car crash to a tree falling,” Banks County Sheriff’s Sgt. Carissa McFaddin said.

“The radius of where the reports are coming from is very wide, so it’s not a concentrated area,” she said.

“We really do not know what it may have been. I do know we’ve had a number of military jets flying over that day,” she said leading many to believe the explosions are sonic bombs.

“Sonic booms would go over that distance,” she said.

But McFaddin said others have suggested an earthquake, while Jackson County Sheriff Janis Mangum said Thursday some suggested to her it was someone exploding Tannerite, an explosive used to make exploding targets. Tannerite is readily available to the public.

Nadin Humphries, a woman who lives outside Maysville, said Thursday “it sounded like a bomb went off. It shook my house.”

“My son said he is familiar with those cannons they use to get rid of vultures and they make a sound like that,” she said. “We do have a rock quarry down the highway that blasts from time to time, but was the first time I heard something that sounded like a bomb.”

Reports of explosions of an undetermined source are not rare for the area.

“We’ve had these reports before and you don’t find anything,” Mangum said.

In Banks County the sheriff posted the booming mystery on the sheriff’s Facebook page and “it blew up very quickly. We had like 300 comments,” McFadden said.

“Sounds of the Apocalypse” Heard in Nebraska City?

West Island sky trumpets unexplained, though theories abound

February 24, 2016

http://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/west-island-sky-trumpets...

Some West Island residents were captivated and creeped out by an eerie trumpeting sound that seemed to come from the sky Sunday. No one knows what caused the sound.

Early theories suggested people in Dollard des Ormeaux were hearing echoes of a Pointe-à-Callières Port Symphony. But those events happen at 2 p.m., and the sky trumpets were reported during the evening. Would sound have carried that far anyway? It’s about 25 kilometres from the Old Port to D.D.O., and sound travels at Mach 1, so … we don’t know. Other atmospheric conditions would have to be factored in.

The Montreal Gazette asked a spokesperson at Environment Canada whether there any been any unusual meteorologic conditions Sunday night. “Not that we’re aware of. There were no reports of anything in the Montreal area.”

Witnesses to the sound say there was little to no wind at the time.

Montreal Gazette Facebook followers had a field day with the mystery. “Don’t worry, Quebec will find a way to tax it,” posted one reader. “Could they be clearing snow out there?” suggested a reader. From another, what would seem to be the most obvious answer: “The wind does that sometimes, like with a pan flute.” Then from the bottom of the earth: “We heard it here in Australia on Sunday. … Birds went ballistic. Whether it’s atmopsheric radio waves or it is a warning, I know what side of the fence I would rather be on.”

Southwest Quebecers say they hear strange trumpets sounds in the sky: The dogs ‘are going nuts’

Explosion Sounds Are Literally Shaking an LA County Town and Nobody Knows the Cause
Posted  March 7, 2016  http://www.vice.com/read/explosion-sounds-are-literally-shaking-an-...
Out of nowhere on Tuesday night, around 8 PM, Alex Arevalos, a student and graphic designer in Alhambra, California, ten miles east of downtown Los Angeles, heard a single, loud thud.

He immediately asked his sister if she'd slapped his bedroom wall. "She said she didn't, so I automatically blamed the train," Arevalos, who lives near train tracks, told VICE.

Then on Thursday around midnight, two similar sounds woke up Arevalos's father, and when father and son spoke about it in the morning, the younger Arevalos became convinced it was something abnormal. "This time as soon as I heard it, and heard the walls shake a bit, I listened for the train, but didn't hear anything," adding, "I can tell the difference now [between] the train and the booms."

Arevalos is far from alone. According to the local news site Alhambra Source, residents first reported hearing the booms on February 16 when a woman named Noelle Dominguez alerted her neighbors to them in a private section of the community social network nextdoor.com. "I know this sounds weird. But since [I've been] living in Alhambra, every other night or so I hear a loud explosion-like noise," she wrote. Soon, other nextdoor.com users shared similar experiences with the booms, according to Alhambra Source.
Two nights later, Alhambra Police Department posted about the booms on Facebook. Just after 8 PM, officers received reports of "a loud explosion heard in the northern end of our city." The police wrote that they've received multiple similar reports in recent weeks, but that "unfortunately, we were unable to locate the origin."

"We are as puzzled as everyone," Jerry Johnson, the Alhambra police sergeant, told VICE. He said two on-duty officers heard the booms recently, and they rushed toward the source, arriving just 90 seconds after the sound dissipated.

"And then nothing," Johnson said.

In the comments of an Alhambra PD Facebook post, one Facebook user named Anthony Ruiz called the booms, "much too loud to be a firework." Another user named Christopher Keller described them as akin to a sonic boom, saying he felt a "pressure wave." But he added that they were too close to be sonic booms. An isolated series of sonic booms shook New Jersey in late January—but that was an isolated incident brought on by several fighter jets breaking the sound barrier around the same time above the area.

Chris Paulson, the administrative services director for the city of Alhambra, also called it a "sonic boom type of sound," made all the more strange by the fact that it's being reported across an unusually wide area. "We've investigated, and it's probably about a mile north to south," he told VICE.

According to Alhambra Source, there are construction projects going on in the area, but the local public works department "does not believe that the projects are the source of the noises." According to Paulson, that's because, "there's simply no construction going on when those noises are heard."

VICE contacted a municipal consulting company called Transtech, an engineering firm that contracts for Alhambra, inspecting safety concerns at city construction projects. Transtech's Alhambra city building official, Ayla Jefferson, told us she had heard of the booms, but has "no knowledge" of their origin.

Meanwhile, the booms continue unabated. For Arevalo, they've become part of life in Alhambra. He described the most recent explosions he heard as "just kind of there." Since he's been living near a train for 13 years, he says he's become accustomed to noise in general, adding that "the only thing affecting my sleep is school."

But not everyone is tuning out the booms. According to Sergeant Johnson, "We're getting calls on this two or three times a day."

"It is a mystery," said Paulson.

Mystery booms heard in Rankin County

Sound heard as far away as downtown Jackson

http://www.wapt.com/news/central-mississippi/mystery-booms-heard-in...

PEARL, Miss. —Several people called the 16 WAPT Newsroom Thursday after they heard loud booms in Rankin County.

Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman Greg Flynn said he heard two booms about 8 a.m. as he walked into the office.

“It was loud enough that it made me turn my head,” Flynn said. “I thought it was coming from the (Mississippi) Fire Academy, but there was nothing going on there.”

A caller in Jackson said he heard the boom, which he thought was coming from Pearl, as far away as downtown Jackson.

Another caller said the lights went out briefly between Pearl and Brandon after he heard the boom.

Entergy spokeswoman Mara Hartmann said there was a 3-4 minute transmission-related outage Thursday morning near Old Fannin Road in Flowood that affected industrial customers, but no residential customers. She said that the cause is under investigation.

“It could be linked to that, but we don’t know. Transmission (technicians) will have to walk the lines to find out where it came from,” Hartmann said. “It might have been us. We just don’t know.”

The official source of the sound remains a mystery.

What's up with the latest boom?

http://www.ydr.com/story/news/2016/03/14/whats-up-latest-boom/81781...

Booms heard on Sunday evening prompted at least two calls to York County 911, but what caused the noise remains a mystery.

The calls came from the southwestern part of the county, York County spokesman Carl Lindquist said. Staff at the 911 center made some calls but were unable to confirm any cause.

 Mystery over early morning 'explosions'

Posted: April 12, 2016
http://www.thanetgazette.co.uk/Mystery-early-morning-explosions/sto...

Mystery surrounds what caused two loud noises early yesterday morning.

Several people in the Palm Bay and Broadstairs said they heard what they described as two "explosions" at 5am.

Different explanations have been rumoured as to what the noises were, including gun shots, controlled explosions by the Army and even "sonic booms" caused by fighter jets.

The Ministry of Defence said it was not aware of any "sonic booms" over the South of England. A spokesman for Thanet council said they had not been told of controlled explosions, adding: "The only thing we can think of is the noises were caused by loud waves."

Palm Bay resident Chris Smee said he was woken up at 5am by what he described as "two explosions, one after the other."

"My immediate thought was someone was firing a shotgun, but they were far louder than that and came from the direction of the coastline."

Jo Calvert-Mindell posted on the Broadstairs Facebook page:" Just heard a loud bang followed by two more - this was at 5am and then 5.01am. Could it be a signal for the coastguard/lifeboat?"

Scientists Investigate Mysterious Explosions off Western India (May 3)

Locals at Nivati beach reported explosion-like sounds emanating off the coast on April 7, 10 and 26, which has alarmed residents in nearby areas.

Goa-based National Institute of Oceanography had yesterday said the sounds may be due to existence of geographic fault (crack in the earth's crust) or gas emission.

"A team of scientists from Goa-based National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) travelled to Nivati beach yesterday and went up to 25-30 nautical miles," Sindhudurg District Collector Anil Bhandari told the Press Trust of India today.

"The magnitude of the sound reported on April 26 was high. People came out of their houses fearing it was an earthquake. But the earthquake is ruled out," Mr Bhandari said.

The district administration along with Maharashtra Fisheries Department, Indian Coast Guard, and others held an emergency meeting in last week of April to discuss the issue. Mr Bhandari said the district administration has not asked the locals to vacate the village or stopped the fishermen from fishing, pending scientific investigations.

"There are no warnings issued. We are waiting for the report from NIO which is conducting detailed study on this unusual phenomenon," he said.

NIO's chief scientist Dr Rajiv Nigam had told the Press Trust of India yesterday "it looks like minor geographical fault (crack in the earth's crust) has got activated in the area". "We would like to allay people's fear...there is nothing related to tsunami or any other natural disaster. People should not get panicky," he had said.

"Or it might be due to existence of small gas pockets...it might also be due to eruption of gas. The gas gets accumulated in the mud and when it comes out it makes sound," he said.

One man from Ilford filmed the sky at around 11pm and spotted the eerie flashes of light before capturing the loud bangs, which he said shook his house.
'I have a theory that it was a meteorite,' said the video maker. 'If it had been a land-based explosion there would be damage somewhere but so far no damage.'

'It was too loud to be a firework that's for sure and fireworks don't shake houses. I don't think it's a supersonic aircraft as a sonic boom does not give off light.

'I think it was a meteorite burning up in the atmosphere. This would give off light and cause a sonic boom.'

The Royal Observatory at the Royal Museum of Greenwich discredited this notion, however.

A spokesman told MailOnline: 'This doesn't have the character of a meteor, since such a blast would only occur after a sustained bright light during atmospheric entry - not a quick flash as shown in the video.
'It's also somewhat unlikely that three blasts would be heard. It looks and sounds a little bit more like a firework.

'An object would only be classed as a meteorite if it actually reached the ground - something up in the air like this would be a meteor.

'Our understanding of large meteors and fireballs is that, although they can produce sonic booms and/or loud bangs (in the latter case when they fragment violently), they are more likely to produce a sustained glow for several seconds (which may vary in brightness) as they move across the sky, rather than a single, momentary flash.'

A number of residents took to social media to comment on the explosions and to suggest other possible causes.

The majority claimed it could be a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier, while others even suggested a UFO may have visited the area.

Sam Smart said he heard the explosions from his house in Wanstead, around four miles from where the video maker captured his footage in Ilford.

The 24-year-old advertising graduate said: 'It was too loud to be a firework. It sounded like the sonic boom of a jet to me.'

Another local resident, who lives in nearby Woodford and who wished to remain anonymous, said the loud bangs sounded like 'gunshots'.
Meanwhile on Twitter, one person wrote: 'Hoping the explosion sounds heard in East London/Essex aren't anything serious.'

Another said: 'Just heard three loud booms, like an explosion here in East London. Anyone know anything?'

A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said that it was 'not aware' of the noises but would be looking into it to see if it was caused by a jet.

The MoD later confirmed: 'We know nothing about it. A sonic boom would suggest there was a foreign plane in our airspace, which was not the case.'

It also added that a jet had not been scrambled in the UK either.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman also confirmed that the force had received calls reporting the loud noises but that they would not be looking into it.

Nick Pope, who used to research UFOs for the MoD, told MailOnline: 'I'm sceptical about the fighter jet theory, as night flying by military jets over built-up areas is unusual, and my understanding is that supersonic flying over the mainland UK is not allowed, in view of the disturbance caused.

'I think the meteor theory is quite likely. Meteors and fireballs entering the Earth's atmosphere at high speed would produce a flash of light and can also generate sound, in the same way as an aircraft can generate a sonic boom.

'If it was a large one, it could split into pieces, which would explain why three flashes were seen. Meteors and fireballs turned out to be the explanation for several spectacular UFO sightings that I investigated while working on the MoD's UFO project.'

Last month panicked people in the Midlands took to social media after two huge explosions were heard around Northampton and Brackley.

It was later reported that the booms were caused by Typhoon jets, which had been scrambled from an RAF base in Lincolnshire to identify an unresponsive aircraft.

Commenting at the time, a Ministry of Defence spokesman said: 'Quick reaction alert Typhoon aircraft were launched today from RAF Coningsby to identify an unresponsive civilian aircraft.

'Communications were re-established and the aircraft has been safely escorted to Cardiff airport.'
